One of Kylie’s finest moments wub.gif Still crazy her biggest album still doesn’t have a proper vinyl release - the fact the Sainsbury’s and Record Crate editions still sell for £150+ weekly it shows there is obviously a demand for it!

I think this is my favourite Kylie album! I know what is to come after this and I can't see any of that overtaking this as my ultimate favourite~

01. In Your Eyes
02. Fragile
03. Love at First Sight
04. Can't Get You Out of My Head
05. Love Affair
06. Come Into My World
07. Fever
08. Dancefloor
09. More More More
10. Burning Up
11. Your Love
12. Give It to Me

It's a heavenly album, filled to the brim with incredible songs. 'In Your Eyes' is my favourite here and would rank in my top 5 all-time singles from her too (challenging for #1 there). And then 'Fragile' is by FAR my favourite album track by her! Away from those, we have iconic other singles, the glorious chorus of Love Affair, and pretty much everything is amazing. The bottom 4 songs are fun/cute but ultimately inessential, whereas everything from 8 upwards is near life-changing. A true celebratory album that is pure bliss from start to end!

Album ranking
01. Fever
02. Kylie Minogue
03. Rhythm of Love
04. Light Years
05. Impossible Princess
06. Kylie
07. Enjoy Yourself
07. Let's Get To It

Fragile is such a great song and often overlooked.

Many posters have shown affection for Fragile for a while now.

I always forget how much I love 'Fragile' until I listen to it, it's a real beauty of a song.

I really wish beyond wish that 'Tightrope' was on this album in place of 'Give It To Me', then it would flow so perfectly and be absolute 100%. That sticks out like a sore thumb.

'In Your Eyes' is my favourite Kylie single and it's in great company on this album. 'Give It To Me' and 'Dancefloor' are the only ones I don't love but I still enjoy them (would have to replace 'Give It To Me' with 'Tightrope' though if there was only room for 12 tracks - that is just essential!). The other B-sides are great too: 'Boy', 'Baby', 'Good Like That' to name a few.

This album really set the tone for a lot of pop music in the years that followed and its impact is still being felt nearly 20 years on, what with critics and fans picking up similarities in Dua Lipa's latest album.

I’ve gradually gone through all Kylie’s 10’s albums, and I’m starting the naughtiest with Fever. WOW wub.gif The influence on dance pop is so clear to see, it’s a really fresh sounding record. This is literally gay heaven.

01. Love At First Sight
02. In Your Eyes
03. Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
04. Your Love (a shame it doesn’t get much love, it lays things back down a notch and is so smooth)
05. Love Affair
06. Burning Up
07. Fever
08. Come Into My World
09. Fragile
10. Give It To Me
11. On The Dancefloor
12. More More More

‘More More More’ stood out behind the rest, but even that was a fun listen. Perfection clap.gif Can’t wait for Body Language and X, then I’ll take a week to acquaint myself properly with all these albums.

Body language is a complete dif ball game to fever so I'm interested in what you think of it.

I've always loved "More More More" heart.gif and thought it deserved way more shine. That's the thing with Fever, though: the singles were so MAMMOTH, era-defining, and influential, that the album tracks and B-sides were a bit overshadowed.

I really love that, to my ears, "More More More" slots in really well with the DISCO tracks. I'd also love a mashup with Andrea True Connection's "More More More".

I completely agree, with it not being on any album properly I always forget about 'Tightrope' cry.gif

Although, it's always a pleasant surprise when I remember it exists each time.

After enjoying ‘Disco’ so much I’ve been listening to ‘Fever’ tonight - it really is her best album since then and dance/pop really is what Kylie does best.

I adore ‘Golden’ and it’s also way up there as one of my favourites and also really consistent and strong but due to it being so different from Disco I can’t compare it against that.

I still love this album. My favourites still are:
1. Tightrope
2. CIMW single version (with the breathier vocals)
3. LAFS
4. Fragile
5. Love Affair

Ironically, CGYOOMH is the Kylie single I least listen to, in the Parlo era wink.gif

A great summary of 'Fever' from an American channel (I recommend adjusting the video speed to 1.25 though haha):

Fever is getting another vinyl release!

https://www.nationalalbumday.co.uk/product/...ersary-edition/

On October 1st, Kylie Minogue celebrates the 20th anniversary of her chart-topping, dance-pop classic, Fever. The album was a global smash, picking up number 1s in places across the UK, Australia, Germany, Ireland as well as multiple top 10 finishes elsewhere. It featured massive singles such as Love At First Sight, In Your Eyes and one of the singles of the 00s, Can’t Get You Out Of My Head; which peaked at number one across 40 countries, including every European country apart from Finland. To celebrate 20 years of the pop classic, Fever will be released on white vinyl with a special 300gsm gloss print inserted in the gatefold.

~~~

I guess this’ll make the original white vinyl a lot less valuable now?

I welcome Fever getting another vinyl release to add sales but would have preferred Impossible Princess to get its debut vinyl release and I believe many fans may feel the same.
